@tinaesims Before I was first diagnosed with MAC my primary care doctor informed me I hadn’t been taking my thyroid medication as it had become so hypo. I told her I had never missed a day since I was eighteen. (My entire family has had thyroid issues ranging from hypo to two having Graves(hyper). She changed the dosage, and now I am constantly checked (every three months) as the MAC and meds seem to raise havoc with it. I have no earthly clue why.

@irene5 and @tinaesims It's the rifampin that typically interferes with thyroid medication. It usually gets switched to Rifabutin. Ask your doctor about that.
